Porcine proliferative enteropathy(PPE) is an enteric disease been caused by Lawsonia intracellularis. It has become one of the critical problems in the pig industry. To investigate the prevalence of PPE in Korea, serum samples of 828 pigs from 65 herds were tested using indirect immunofluorescence antibody technique(IFA). The infection rate in individual pigs varied from 44 to 69%, whereas 100% in pig farms. The infection frequency was 57, 44.9, and 59.4% according to age respectively. Administration of tylosin in feed at a concentration of 110 ppm for 14 days reduced the infection rate of the farms. These data indicated that the high prevalence of PPE may be controlled by tylosin.
猪增生性肠炎(PPE)是一种由细胞内劳森菌引起的肠道疾病。它已成为养猪业中的关键问题之一。为了调查韩国猪增生性肠炎的流行情况,使用间接免疫荧光抗体技术(IFA)对来自65个猪群的828头猪的血清样本进行了检测。个体猪的感染率在44%至69%之间,而猪场的感染率为100%。根据年龄,感染频率分别为57%、44.9%和59.4%。以110 ppm的浓度在饲料中添加泰乐菌素14天可降低猪场的感染率。这些数据表明,猪增生性肠炎的高流行率可能通过泰乐菌素得到控制。
